Frigidaire – FFRE0833S1

If you are looking for a quality window air conditioner from a renowned manufacturer with over a century of experience air control and refrigeration, then it is got to be the Frigidaire’s 8000BTU FFRE0833S1 window-mounted air conditioner.

Frigidaire was one of the pioneer companies that built the very first fans and air conditioners and have continued to set the pace for the industry in terms of innovation and customer research.

Without much further ado, we are going to delve straight into what makes this particular model a popular choice for many households and help you see if it is a good fit for your needs.

Description of the FFRE0833S1 by Frigidaire

FrigidairFFRE0833S1 capacity is rated at 8,000BTU. This means it will work as expected for spaces not exceeding 350 sq. Ft. This is roughly the size of a small studio apartment or a living room. As a rule of thumb, a square foot of space requires at least 30BTUs.

The multi-speed fan is very useful as it enables one to set the desired speed from an option of three. This enables one to save both energy and control the noise level produced. This will help you to quickly cool the room during the hot summer days while keeping the operation quiet enough to avoid waking or distracting you often.

In fact, on the lowest fan setting, this unit will only produce 55dB of noise which is quite impressive if you consider what its competitors are offering.

In addition to these, there is also a sleep mode whereby the ac automatically gradually increases the temperature by a few degrees in respect to the outside temperature in order to provide a relaxing and comfortable indoor environment during the night. However, this mode can be overridden to better suit your personal needs.

With Frigidaire FFRE0833S1 you don’t have to keep track of your filter as there is an alert that automatically calculates this for you and promptly notifies you when you need to refill it. This filter is only a part of the air purification compartment that removes pollen, dust, and impurities. This ensures you and your family are protected from disease-causing bacteria, and room odors without having to purchase another appliance. This helps you save on costs.

The dehumidification capacity of this unit is about 1.7 pints per hour. This, coupled with a cool breeze, should be enough to ensure you always have a comfortable indoor environment you can always turn to after the sweltering time in the sun.

If you don’t like having to reconfigure your window ac every time the power goes off, then this could be the unit you have been looking for. If, for whatever reasons the unit is disconnected from the power, it will effortlessly resume the previous settings once the power is restored.

The control panel is also another part worth noting. We would say this has been carefully thought out area and made to be as convenient as possible. The controls are touch-sensitive so you don’t have to press anything. There is also a display that shows the digital readout of the temperatures and other modes so you can see exactly what the appliance is doing and what mode it is on easily.

To improve on convenience, a feature-rich remote control is also included with the purchase. You can now have the control of the thermostat and the fans from anywhere in the room.

In terms of efficiency, this unit is able to achieve a ratio of 12.0 EER (Energy Efficient Ratio). It is also certified by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) for basic safety compliance, therefore, you don’t have to worry about the appliance being a safety risk to your family.

Users' feedback

Not bad. I especially appreciated the insulation and foam strips that were included. Cools well. Haven't seen the electrical bills yet but I'm hoping that the energy-saving features help. I also appreciate the ionizer as air can become stale when a window unit is used. Significantly quieter than a similar GE unit that I purchased last summer."

This product is amazing!!!! Bought brand new and installed it myself, this AC unit keeps our 20×15 room cold even with the door open. The unit is made for a window that slides up and down, but with a few adjustments, we made it fit. The picture is a temp installation, going to cut a custom board to fit in the top, but even with the cardboard cutouts it still works amazing. 92 outside today and we couldn't tell."
